Officials with the Department of Veterans Affair will not identify the man or comment on what may have led to the incident.
Witnesses at the VA clinic told Channel 9 the victim seemed frustrated as he left the clinic.
"He was pissed off prior to shooting himself. He left and he was frustrated with the system," said Benjamin Rivera.
Rivera was waiting for his appointment when he heard the gunshot. He said the highly criticized and backlogged VA system can sometimes take a toll on veterans.
